WARTIME RACKETS War-time rackets, bred of loose money, grief and general confusion are swamping the country as sharoers go to work with a will on their “sucket lists.” One of the most despicable types is called “following the hearse'' and operators in this field prey upon emotions of next of kin after disaster. One recently spawned is shortly after the parents or wife of a service man are notified of his death there often is an attempt to sell a pin in honor of his memory. Another racket is to call on a person after the loss of a loved one and contract to make j an enlarged portrait for a nominal fee. On delivery the price has greatly increased because the picture is in a frame. Protesting does no good. The salesman claims the order was given and there will be no delivery unless the full price is paid. Often the original protograph from whicii the enlargement was copied is withheld until payment. Another racket revived or born includes such as “clipping services” the family of a service man whose name has appeared in print is contacted j tne writers declaring they have an interesting item about him. The fee 1 is paid and the clipping delivered. | Then the family realizes the game. It will be the same article they al- , ready have cut from their daily, newspaper, one they themselves very likely gave the newspaper.
